Located in Obong-ri, Seongsan-myeon, Gangneung-si, Obong Dam is the most critical infrastructure for the city's survival. Far beyond its aesthetic beauty, this reservoir acts as the core heart of the region, responsible for approximately 86.6% of Gangneung's total domestic and industrial water supply. It is a vital lifeline that sustains the daily lives of 180,000 residents and the city's growing industries.

For some independent restaurants, a live official menu was not clearly published online, so I used a current price guide instead of pretending every exact menu number was fixed.
